Effect of occupation on lipid peroxidation and antioxidant status in coal-fired thermal plant workers

Abstract: Background:Air pollution from coal-fired power units is large and varied, and contributes to a significant number of negative environmental and health effects. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) have been implicated in the pathogenesis of coal dust-induced toxicity in coal-fired power plants.Aim:The aim of the study was to measure free radical damage and the antioxidant activity in workers exposed to varying levels of coal dust.Material and Methods:The study population consisted of workers in coal handling unit, tu… Show more

“…In this work, we observed that the average MDA concentration was more prominent in tandoor workers than in control population. These results matched those of coal plant workers, who showed increased MDA levels in the blood after inhalation exposure to coal dust (Kaur et al, 2013). Pan et al (2008) found higher MDA levels in Chinese restaurant workers after exposure to cooking oil fumes containing PAHs.…”

“…(34) Besides that, the chronic coal dust exposure on coalfired power plant workers increased the serum MDA while significantly reduced the serum SOD. (35) In this study, it was also identified that the increment of the serum 8-OHdG concentration in the coal group was higher than the OVA group. On the other hand, the higher increment of the 8-OHdG concentration was also shown in the combination group.…”

“…In many studies, high levels of MDA have been emphasized as one of the important indicators of OS. Serum MDA has been used in many diseases as a marker of tissue lipid peroxidation and as an OS biomarker 27–29 . Decreasing the MDA level in mice with autoimmune encephalomyelitis has been shown to improve over motor functions 30 .…”
